Because I've worked so closely with the DGS he was my first email when I got the Cal acceptance so he asked me to come talk to him. He mostly wanted to know how important it was to me to stay in LA now given that option (I'm a couple of months from married, so my husband's job availability has been an important component of where I go), and I just told him that it was very, very unlikely I would be staying in the department. (Even though I really love it and anyone who gets in there should definitely go!! )
